The idea definitely has potential. The current market they are targeting is the best setting for this kind of application. A bunch of horny college students in a confined location, i.e. a campus. If the founders manage things right I think

"Mathematics" is a singular noun so shortening it to "maths" just doesn't make sense.

"Code" by Charles Petzold is a wonderful book about how computers work and it covers pretty much everything but in a way that is accessible to anyone who understand basic algebra.

'Few' can mean one or more so logically you got nothing. Although if you look up 'troll' you will find 'mfukar'.

There are many alternate services of the same type. Just export your bookmarks into the new service. I don't see what the fuss is about.

Why are you taking a jab at humanity majors. It seems to me your network admin is at fault here.

Certainly, no one is denying this but people often stick to a single paradigm and tout it as the best thing since slice bread. People often make claims without any backing and since the argument is about programming languages it should be r

Not what I meant. I'm familiar with several dozen languages and I try to get acquainted with at least one topic and programming language outside my comfort zone every six months. I've been keeping with this routine for about 3 years now and

This seems a bit unfair to people who learned programming by way of web development and tinkering with scripting languages because it seems to assume the usual undergrad CS course load.

How are you comparing public schools to universities? First of all each state has maybe a dozen universities but it has a hundred or more school districts, in some larger states, each with at least a dozen schools. The complexity of managin

Who are you quoting? Is it me? If it is how did you infer I propose doing the same thing but with more money? In fact I'm advocating the opposite. Currently the move is towards more and more customized education and it's not working out wel

How far are you going to atomize the students? Grade level, proper pacing, emotional development, what else? The logistics of what you are suggesting is simply impossible. I have been involved in the education space and I know people that a

I didn't say anything about penalizing people. If you are so gifted that you can take college courses in 7th grade then be my guest but you'd be surprised to know that in most other nations what people learn in 6th and 7th grades is what th

I've been educated in two different countries and the obsession that the US schools have at every level with segregating and separating students never ceases to surprise me. Administrators are so obsessed with the metrics used to perform th

The world needs more people like him and your title is misleading. He is making a point about the inherent value of something and that it can not be measured by a select group of individuals.

I hate it when people buy into this 'government is a business' mentality and that it should have a 'balanced budget'. Government is not a business and people shouldn't expect to run it like one. The money spent on social services circulates

Ever hear of the bell curve? It applies to everything from intelligence, height, weight, to whatever else you care to measure. Also I refer you to http://searchlores.org/realicra/basiclawsofhumanstupidity.ht... for a good read on what you

You wanted an Art community and it doesn't get any better than deviantart.com in terms of sharing work, discussing art and getting feedback. Artists can even sell their work and I'm sure a lot of deviants have gotten work simply because of

Looked at any clojure, erlang, javascript, scala, etc. postings lately? Objects and classes are out. Functional programming is in so I'm in good company and you don't have to pray for me at night.

Anything with first class functions works for me. I pretty much program with closures and have no idea what classes and objects mean. Incidentally the first language I really learned was Ruby but I fell in love with how it handled blocks/la
